6)Book : Pyaar Ek Tarfa by Radhika_Pareek_10

Title : 2/5

Though you've selected a nice title but the title is not fitting well with the story plot.

Cover : 2/5

Font color and size could've been better. Also the name of the cover artist and the author isn't properly displayed.
It could have been more smooth.

Blurb : 2/10

No proper description , one small phrase isn't enough.

Grammar & spelling : 7/10

There are minor grammatical and spelling mistakes.
Also please check the proper use of punctuation at certain places.

Uniqueness of plot : 14/20

The plot is unique but you've not described things in detail. It has scope.

Plot & Character development : 15/20

Characters are described nicely in the start but some of them are suddenly striked out from the picture. For example you could have shown more about munna his feelings for naina I mean suddenly she calls him munna bhaiya and there is a clean chit like he just let her go. I am not telling that you did wrong. No, but you could have shown more.

Flow : 5/10

No proper transition and as you've used short short sentences the flow is disturbed.

Overall : 5/10

So this book is Not Accepted.

7)Broken without you by Radhika_Pareek_10

Title: 3.5/5

Kind of common. The words 'without' and 'you' didn't start with capital letters.

Cover: 1.5/5

No efforts at all.

Blurb: 5/10

Didn't mention the essentials to hook a random reader. 

Grammar and spellings: 12/20

No punctuation marks used except full stops.

Originality of plot: 15/20

Characterisation: 5/10

I know that this is a fan fiction, but if we are gonna include the characterisation aspect, then you should have at least outlined every character's sketch. From the eyes of a random or general reader, they won't be able to figure out the true personality of the characters.

Flow: 7.5/10

Development: 16/20

Overall: 7.5/10

•So this book is Accepted.

8) samaina's pure love by the_fantasy_world__

Title: 2/5

Cover: 1.5/5

Blurb: 4/10

Grammar and spellings: 13/20

Originality of plot: 14/20

Characterisation: 6/10

Flow: 6/10

Development: 10/20

Overall: 5/10

Using emojis is a big mistake. Formal writing norms of literature don't allow that. Capital letters are missing, even from the title. It's fun to read for sure. Cover needs efforts.

So this book is Not Accepted.

9) Suman: A Bundle Of Fortune  by samaina_fan_samaina

Title: 4.5

Don't mention your story type (ss) in the title.

Cover: 3/5

Depicts the story but the font is not good. The text is not much visible.

Blurb: 7/10

 Grammar and spellings: 7/10

Originality of plot: 15/20

Characterisation: 7/10

Flow: 6/10

Development: 13/20

Overall: 7.5/10

It was a sweet story. However, this isn't a dialogue book so you should not express the emotions or mention the adjectives in bracketd in between or in the starting of dialogues. This has good potential, work a bit and you'll do great.

So this book is  Accepted.

10) Tashn-e-ishq by the_fantasy_world__

Title: 3.5/5

Cover: 2.5/5

Blurb: 7.5/10

Grammar and spellings: 13/20

Originality of plot: 12/20

Characterisation: 5/10

Flow: 7/10

Development: 13/20

Overall: 6.5/10
 

Again, you don't need to state your story type or even the fandom in the title. It can be adjusted in the blurb or disclaimer. It's nice but needs editing and a bit of plot or characterization changes. Those are getting common. Otherwise, nice story.

So this story is Not Accepted.

11) first and last best friend forever by the_fantasy_world__

Title: 3/5

Cover: 3/5

Blurb: 7/10

Grammar and spellings: 15/20

Originality of plot: 14/20

Characterisation: 6/10

Flow: 7/10

Development: 16/20

Overall: 7/10

The title was great if you didn't forget the capital letters and didn't mention the story type of status. Cover needs efforts. It doesn't depict the storyline. Overall, it's a common plot but still you did a good job. Keep a check at the grammar and literature rules.

So this story is Not Accepted.

13) Main Phir Bhi Tumko Chahungi by shambhavisontakke

Title: 5/5

Cover: 4/5

Blurb: 6.5/10

Originality of plot: 17/20

Characterisation: 8/10

Flow: 8/10

Development: 17/20

Overall: 8.5/10

Liked the idea of the plot. I'm glad you mentioned briefly, or gave a hint about from the scene the story takes place, keeping in mind the general readers. My suggestion to make this even better is to check the grammar. 

So this story is Accepted.

14) The Incomplete Life 💔  by KavyaKa2800

Cover: 2.5/5

Blurb: 8/10

This story is Accepted.

15) I can't love you by Doraashi

Title: 4/5

Cover: 3.5/5

Blurb: 8.5/10

Grammar and spellings: 18/20

Originality of plot: 19/20

Characterisation: 8.5/10

Flow: 9/10

Development: 19/20

Overall: 9/10

It's unique and had a great plot. My suggestions to make this even better are to look after the title (capitalization and story status) and the tense in the story. I noticed it changing somewhere or the other. The cover is great, but the white portion and the font makes it a little less attractive.

This book is Accepted.
